' Seniors Aweigh lt's a rather difficult year for those young people to be graduating, say the oldsters, 'but the younger set, namely the graduates, totalling 332, appear willing and eager to ac- -cept the responsibilities facing them. A good 'share of the boys will undoubtedly be shedding their zoot suits with the deep pleats and re- placing them with uniforms-either a uni- form of the armed forces, or a war worker's overalls-anything to help win this greatest of allwars. O O Really though, it's fun for these seniors to look back over the four years at Waukesha High School and recall the excitement and beauty of the Old South prom with John Buckley and Marjorie Wiles as king and queen. Al Hanke and Bill Beitz were definite- ly the star athletes, and they joined the navy and army as soon as they finished school. Yes, and those awful butch haircuts were Page 22 quite the rage, and it's a blessing that the boys' hair grew back again. The school publications, the Cardinal Star and Megaphone had Bud Gittner and Ar- leen Spielvagel respectively as editors in chief. Bud was the boy who made up page 3 of the Star completely from hold-over-quite an accomplishment to say the least. Art Libbey was president of the Student Council, with Bob Coutts taking over when Art left for the Army Air Corps..- Scholastic honors go to President of the Honor Society Paul Bower, Charles Evans, John Buckley, Howard Graff, Bob Manley, and Charles Joy, just a few of the Honor Society seniors. ,I One of the biggest features of the i942-43 school year was the opening of the first Student Union, The Cardinal Attic. ln- cidentally, Eldora Siewert and Paul Bower were student managers for the recreational center.
